What? You mean my teacher is retiring and he hasn't even told me
yet? What am I going to do now? Oh wait, I'll be in college in
December. Well, hopefully... just got back today from auditions at
Northwestern University and Oberlin Conservatory. I think they went fairly
well, but 60 students for 5 spots is just nuts... but then I can only
wonder how many people will be auditioning for Don's seat in the
symphony. Maybe I shouldn't be complaining after all :-)

Note to self: Teachers seem to like hearing Stravinsky's Three Pieces,
well, at least Mvts 2 & 3 ;-)
